Was thinking about the alerts and was wondering if it would be possible for setting up a way that when printer ink/toner was low that it could email a particular person, (not IT) say a secretary or department head (whoever orders the toner/ink) a notification that it was getting low.

like putting a Send notification attribute on that printers General Info page.

(wouldn't particularly want an email going to IT Staff every time a printer ink/toner is low.)

Some printers already have that feature as part of their web interface. For example, many networked HP printers have an internal web page that permits E-Mails to be sent to selected users when toner is low, paper jammed, etc. Other brands do the same thing, but generally only on the higher end printers with internal print servers.

Agreed...it would be very helpful if Spiceworks allowed you to specify a unique email address for each alert.

We've got 3 'admins' using our SW install...only one of them is responsible for printer/copier and their consumables; it would be great if SW could simply notify that one particular admin when the printer alert was triggered and not all of us.
